6) HAVNWe invested in Future Cardia because we use AI-powered electrical, vibrational and acoustic sensing to save lives.Future Cardia is transforming cardiac care by leveraging AI and connected implants to radically improve patient outcomes.Our tiny, implantable cardiac monitoring device can be implanted in just two minutes during an in-office procedure. Powered by AI, our platform provides near real-time data, enabling early detection and intervention. This reduces unnecessary hospital visits, lowers medical costs, and significantly improves patient quality of life.Led by a team of physicians, scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs with over 200 years of combined expertise in cardiac devices development and cardiology with multiple exits and two IPOs.Sandhill Angels, Johnson & Johnson JLABS & Stanford StartX all agree: Future Cardia is poised to revolutionize the $110B implantable cardiac device market.
--------
We invested in Geoship because it solves the biggest problem in real estate: affordability.Geoship homes cost just 55-60% of conventional homes - this makes home ownership accessible to a broader demographic.Geoship's ceramic geodesic design keep material costs incredibly low. The modular triangle panels are genius, allowing for quick assembly without the need for large construction crews and all the cost and hassles that come with.The team behind Geoship is passionate but also deeply talented with incredible industry reach, the engineering team is Ex-Tesla + Ex-Apple and other nerd badges we know and love.There are an endless number of mega minds (Elon, BYD / Chuanfu, Ford, Mercedes, etc..) fighting to make the next car and win the Logistics Wars... the battle in real estate tech space has fewer competitors and is more disruptable.. with a massive (worldwide massive) addressable market.2023 Completed InvestmentsFollow-on investment into RevSystems.ai2022 Completed InvestmentsInitial investment into RevSystems.ai
